Letters to the editor: Obama's world different than ours

We are always hearing about what is the difference between President Obama and Mitt Romney. To me, the difference is very clear. In my America we love God, and it is okay to be Christian. We support our troops and appreciate the works that our men and women in the armed forces do every day to keep us safe.

In President Obama’s world, God is not loved or honored. The Democratic Party even removed the mention of God from their platform. It is OK to be Muslim, but not Christian. The United States should apologize to all countries no matter what the circumstance. Obama also puts the troops in jeopardy by his lack of leadership in the Middle East. It is more important to be a guest on the TV show “The View” than meet with world leaders. The Obama administration is making it difficult for our troops to submit their voting ballots, a right that we in the states take for granted.

In my America, we strive hard to get a good education to help us get the job opportunity we desire. Americans depend and want good paying jobs to support themselves and their families. As an unemployed person, I want to work and will keep on looking for all employment possibilities.

In President Obama’s world, nothing was done to stimulate job growth. The unemployment rate continued for years while job growth continued in China and other countries. And if you are successful or had the ability to start your own business, let’s take that hard-working incentives away by redistributing your success and income to others. Shame on you for being successful.

We want our country to continue to grow and flourish so our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren can enjoy the freedoms and blessings that have been in our lives.

In President Obama’s world, he continues to increase debt with more programs, increases in White House administration spending, and monies given to support his own causes. By having the debt continue to increase, we will eventually deplete all funds from Social Security and other government programs like Medicare. We will have an economy where we owe so much money to China that China will continue to buy corporations, property and national parks. Maybe we can be citizens under a Middle Eastern country dictatorship because our economy would be in so much debt.

Do we want to give our country away so easily? I think this November’s election the decision is very clear.

Get the Red Wings back in action

I was looking forward to an awesome season for the Red Wings. I guess it’s good that a few players will be able to play, even if we, the fans, won’t be able to watch.

I wish the selected players the best of luck in their overseas games, and I hope the lockout ends soon so we can see the Red Wings back in action. KATHERINE HERMILLER

ObamaCare hurts senior citizens

Thanks to ObamaCare, senior citizens are at the government’s mercy. If a doctor believes that a patient should be readmitted to a hospital for whatever reason, the hospital will be penalized.

This is the first phase of getting rid of people who are 65 and older.

Taxpayers lost in auto bailouts

General Motors and Chrysler were not saved by President Barack Obama. They were saved at the expense of stockholders, bondholders and suppliers. All of them lost tens of billions of dollars from the bankruptcies.

Also, taxpayers have lost $25 billion on their ownership part of the so-called loan.
